All recent available imagery shows that this building is still standing. It appears that the facility still exists on the Erie County website: https://eriecountypa.gov/departments/human-services/children-and-youth/edmund-l-thomas-adolescent-center/. Can you say what source you used to say it was demolished?

Please don't delete driveways. They are useful map data.

Hi, I'm not sure why you keep creating new accounts, but as we've discussed before please don't delete data and replace it. It's better to modify the existing data. Thanks.

Why did you change these ski trails to footpaths? They don't look like footpaths on the aerial imagery.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm impressed with your thoroughness. Keep up the good work!

Ah, so you're systematically scrolling through the whole city looking for rooftop solar?

Hi! What was the source of this data? It looks pretty comprehensive.

Hi! Crime scenes aren't permanent and thus don't belong in OSM. Please don't add them to OSM.

Looks good! Thanks for adding to the map. If you're interested in chatting with other OpenStreetMappers in the area/country, there's a Slack chat you can join here: https://slack.openstreetmap.us/

While this solves the invalid crossing, it doesn't improve the data. Please also try to align the way with the roads you see in the imagery.

Hi! Thanks for adding information to OpenStreetMap. You only need to add name information when it has a unique name. The name field shouldn't be used to describe a thing like "8 Tee" or "Cart Path".

Do you have a wiki page or explanation about how you're doing this wide-scale classification changes? So far I haven't seen anything that is alarming, but it'd be good to document how you made these decisions somewhere for the next time someone reclassifies all the roads in the metro.

I've been mapping for 15 years myself, so I can appreciate the effort that you're taking here. I'm sure you also know how difficult it is to look back at the history of deleted OSM objects, so it would be great to re-use existing features so that you don't remove history of existing work on a map feature, especially when it comes to important features like major roads. I know that iD makes it easier to delete and remap, but the little bit of extra effort to improve existing features is really helpful. Anyway, continue enjoying mapping and have a great evening!

Also note that you deleted some information like exit/destination sign information here. If you don't mind adding that back, that'd be helpful.

Please try to improve the existing roads instead of deleting and re-mapping them. This is important because you're removing the history of the existing roads, but you might also be breaking data (like highway relations or bus routes) that rely on those existing roads.

You deleted a couple buildings in this changeset. Were those buildings demolished or removed somehow?
